My fiance and I just aquired a museum poster of a Monet which has a
beautiful stone arch bridge over a river under a partly cloudy sky. (double
shame on me for not knowing the title) The way it captures light is
stunning, and it's just the poster. Monet is definitely a favourite.
As for the Waterlilies in Philly- I didn't know it's there! How did I miss
that! However, Cleveland has a geourgeous one. I think the Cleveland art
museum is the best I've been in. I was amazed.
